 | Israel in Egypt |  |
Thus, in long course of ages, one by one,
The fallen Spirits are raised: the heaven-outcast,
Penitent, humble, joyful; filled with awe,
But love as strong, toward the All Merciful,—
Again heaven enter; by the angels pure
Radiantly welcomed: and with them, once more,—
Joy every joy surpassing,—nigh the place
Of the Invisible their stations take,—
His Presence feeling: bliss that, all the worlds
To purchase, never would they lose again!
